Hermes GPE’s chief investment officer quits

Susan Flynn, one of the most senior private equity figures at asset manager Hermes, has left two months after the merger of the operation with Gartmore’s private equity division.

Flynn, who was chief investment officer at Hermes GPE and formerly chief executive of Hermes Private Equity, left the firm at the end of June. The reasons are unclear and a Hermes spokeswoman declined to comment. Neither Flynn nor Hermes GPE responded to requests for comment.
